“VMware Cloud Infrastructure Suite is really more of a marketing term. Those of you know our products deeply know that they don’t fit this well together as they need to. Some of them have multiple databases, some don’t look the same, some install differently, and what I can’t stand that is Site Recovery Manager doesn’t currently work with vCloud Director.

"So a huge focus for the company is really how we make it become a suite." Context is everything, and omitting details like that and the fact he was referring to technology released to the market in June last year, is akin to half truths and lies. A cheap shot to go with Tad's cheap suit. Why don't you align this to the Microsoft management stack? Separate installers, separate databases, separate management interfaces, no or little integration. Any of these complex suites require time to integrate and streamline. Microsoft of all companies should know that. Don't play that game, only bigots will believe you.
